Denny Hamlin’s outspoken nature became even more pronounced when he launched his podcast, “Actions Detrimental,” under Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s media house, “Dirty Mo Media.”

The show made its debut on February 2nd. Dale Earnhardt Jr. expressed his excitement, as he said, “Denny is one of the more polarizing individuals in the sport right? We know he can be candid, opinionated, and entertaining as a driver, but he also is very insightful on the challenges and thrills of team ownership. This is going to be fun seeing Denny create content, and I am excited that he is doing it with Dirty Mo Media.”

However, Kenny Wallace believes that this podcast has amplified Hamlin’s voice and may be responsible for the ongoing booing against him. On the “Kenny Wallace Show,” Kenny said, “Denny Hamlin has incredible concentration now I know that with Denny having Actions Detrimental now, his podcast. I know a lot of people don’t like Denny not because now you hear what Denny has to say.”

Kenny further expressed, “If Denny Hamlin does not have Actions Detrimental then a lot of you still love him. He’s the bad boy now but once again the concentration, you all will boo him, ‘I hate Denny Hamlin’ and all he does is go on the racetrack.”

In fact, similar boos continued at Darlington, and Denny Hamlin took a stance and responded to them after the recent event at Darlington.
